Heaven My Angel
11 August 2006

She was my angel
as if gifted by God
Her heart was a warming fire
her happiness an important dawn

This new day, a day of her heart
another moment of her in thought
Heaven gave me an angel
I believe God made this so

A heartbeat away from happiness
yet thousands of miles of ocean to cross
Caught within an azure sky
down on my knees to pray

Wanting, needing, hoping
would she be there
Could her touch ever be to feel
Heaven, my angel
Carolyn by name


“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers:
for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”
Hebrews 13: 2 KJV
